Permauet Injunctions were also lssued against Pltchers Fraser and Bern bard, fermerly of the Philadelphia National league club, who are at present playing with the local American sleague team In the original sult against the three vlayers the court of common pleas dectded that the contracts were unjust and de clined to lesue a restraining order.

A temporary Injunction was granted last Thureday, and today's proceedings were the result of an effort to dissolve the in- Junction, The court decided In the matter of La- fole that there were no new points to be argued and that as the supreme court had expressly declared Lajole's contract to be alid a permanent injunction muet be fs- sued. Counsel for the American League club argued that the constitution of the National league was in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, as it retained a player's services for all time, but the court 4id not agrec with that view. President Ban Johnson of the American league and other witnesses were called to prove that neither Bernhard or Fraser were players of exceptional ability, but the court declded that the decision of the su- preme court applied to them and accord- Ingly issued the permanment restralning order.

Rogers ot the Natlonal League clud, sald: ” “Under the rullng of the supreme court no other action was possible. 1 ehall at once prepare cases against Monte Cro: Flich and Duggleby, who are mow playing ‘with the American League team and shall apply for injunctions agalnst them.

The Kan- Bans are Just completing a. long fiorthern tour through Missouri, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota, and out of four- téén games played have lost but three, one to Missourl, one to Highland Park and yesterday to Creighton. From the first it was a clean, hard-fought contest. For five inhings the score remained 2 fo 1 in favor of Washburn, and the Creighton rooters began to grow fearful. Then the Varsity men dabbed on thelr war paint and began in earnest. A combination of beautiful sacrifices, clever base stealing, selentific coaching 'and hard hitting and Crelghton ‘came out of the sixth inning two runs to the good. In the eighth inning two more runs were scored and all the while, try as they would, the Topeka men could not gain another run and tne game ended 6 to 2 in favor of Creighton. The acknowledged star of the day was Harry Weich, Crelghton's former captaln and star pitcler. Never before had a player pitched such bali‘on Crelghton field. Terrific speed, conilined with almost perfact control, made evan the veterans from Washburn, who had hit with ease such pltchers as Ellis and Thompson of Des Molnes, bite the dust. In baiting he aiso exceiled, with two two- baggers and a single. In a lesser degree hig opponent, Doane, shared the pitching hercrs. Bxcellent curves, cool-headedness and ccntrol enabled him fo give a fine ex- hibition of pitching. Third Baseman Crelghton, fulity of the only errors on the Creighton’side, redeemed himself by hitting out a beautiful two- sacker, which scored two runs. Bucklin, Lynch, Stone and Dineen gave Welch ex- ccllent’ support, In fact, the whole Creigh- ton team supported their pitcher in grand style, as also did the Kansas lads. In every respect the game was a creditable ona.” Washburn left for Lincoln last night, where it plays Nebraska tomorrow, and Crelghton _prepares for its game with the famous Nebraska Indian aggregation at Vintoli park next Baturday.

BEE: WED APRIL 80, COMPLAIN OF UNFAIR RATES Merchants and Manufacturers in Chicago Want Favors Equal to New York. APPEAL TO COMMERCE COMMISSION Wichita Chamber of Commerce Pre- sents Petition for ‘orrection of Alleged Discrimination in Favor of Kansas City. CHICAGO, April 29.—~Merchants and manufacturers of Chicago have united in a strong protest to the Interstate Com- merce commission against alleged discrim- ination in transcontinental rates. It ls charged that by the rates made Chicago manufacturers are placed in competition with New York for Pacific coast trade and for trade west of the Rockies. Attention is called to the fact that equal rates from New York practically eliminate the advantage which should be Chicago's owing to her situation territorially. To this charge the answer of the rallroad managements has always been that water competition by the way of the gulf has made it imperative that the same rates be made from New York to the Pacific coast as from Chicago, St. Louls, St. Paul and other Misslesippi river valley points. Were the rates made higher from New York by the all-rail route the lower rates existing by water from New York to the gulf and thence by rafl will take all the trafc that way. The result Is that jobbers in the middle west have been unable to compete with New York jobbers by reason of the local freight rates charged from New York to Chicago. Wichita Has a Complaint. KANSAS CITY, April 20.—Wichita, Kan through its Chamber of Commerce has pre- sented a petition to the Interstate Com merce commission complaining against the rallroads for alleged discrimination in treight rates. The rallroads are charged with discrimi- nating in grain rates in favor of Kansa City. The main point in the contention fs that while Wichita is much nearer the ports on the Gulf of Mexico the same rates on grain is charged as over the longer haul from Kansas City to the same points. A hearing of the Interstate Commerce com- mission to Investigate the charges will be held in Wichith before June 15, The roads against which the complaint s Qirected are the Atchison, Topeks & Santa Fe, the Gult, Colorado & Santa Fe, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago, Rock Island & Texas, the Houston & Cen- tral Texas, the Texas & Pacific, the Mis sourl Pacific, the 'Frisco system, the Texas Midland, the Illinois Central, the Galves- ton, Houston & Henderson and the Inter- national & Great Northern.

Leutgert, the supposed murdered wife of the sausage maker, was taken Into custody tonight by Detective Blals becaus of the strong suspicion that attaches to her case. Mrs. Robbips had Intended leaving the Alma Mott home, 589 Austin avenue, to which she was taken about six weeks ago, but the chain of circumstantial evi- dence seemed so strong to Attorney Law- rence Harmon, who defended Leutgert, and to a pumber of persons interested that a hurried conference was held and it was decided to hold the woman until further investigation can be made. The woman told apparently conflicting storfes, but Insisted that she is not Mrs. Luetgert.

SAYS DREYFUS WAS GUILTY M. Le Prisoner M Roux Declares the French e Confession of Comsplracy. CHICAGO, April Alleged the Dreyfus case, unknown to mary Frenchmen who followed closely the pro- ceedings of the trial, were confided to University of Chicago students today by M. Hugues Le Roux. The French lecturer declared that Captaln Dreyfus admitted gullt at the time he was pardoned “Captain Dreyfus not only was guilty of conspiracy againet the French government, but he confessed to a number of charges and asked for mercy when signing a pe- tition for pardon,” was the statement with which the French lawyer and lecturer astonished his auditors. “That Dreyfus actually admitted his gullt is not generally known even by people who endeavored to follow the case closely in all its phases.” M. Le Roux explained to the students that his knowledge of the case came largely from the fact that he was asked by friends of Captain Dreyfus to take up the defense of the prisoner. “At the time my ald was sought,” M. Le Roux, “I told Captain friends that I would take up the they would ehow me that innocent of the charges They were unable to do this “You may ask why it Is not conclusively shown to the public that Dreyfus was guilty. It can be shown now, but it wilt not be on account of the heated public sentiment both in and out of France. It has been decided that in twenty-five years the whole affairs will be made clear. At that time many records will be given to the public which thus far have not been seen except by examiners in private. In twenty- five years people will be able to look at the case dispassionately, which they cannot do now." 20 secrets of addea Dreyfus case If the man was against him — FIGHT ON THE CONSTITUTION Negroes in Alabama institate Test Proceedings on the Suf- frage Question, MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 20.—The first step was taken today by the negroes of Alabama toward testing the new constitus tion of the state, when Nelson Bibb, an aged negro, made afidavit before a notary that he had been denled the right to regls- ter, although alleging that he had com- plied with all the qualifications exacted by the constitution. It is said this afdavit will be used by Wilford H. Smith, a negro lawyer from New York, who {s here, {n filing a bill in the United States district court, declaring that the constitution of Alabama is con- trary to the federal constitution. If he 18 unsuccessful in the lower court the case will be appealed to the United States su- preme court. The Colored Man's Suffrage assoclation, which was organized here about a month ago, has issued an appeal to the negroes of the state to subscribe $2,000 to pay the costs of contesting the new instrument. MACHINE TO PICK COTTON Invention Will Be Put to Work in South as Rival of Negroes. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 20.—A special to the Birmingham News from Jackson, Miss., says: The first regular contract ever made in the world to pick eotton by machinery was closed in Greenville a few days since and the first experiment with the machine will be made on a plantation in Washington county. A Pittsburg man is the inventor of the device and for the last ten years he has been conducting experiments in the vicinity of Greenville. He claims that the device has been modeled on a practical working basis and feels confident that he will revolutionize the cotton picking in- dustry in the south. The machine, he ad- mits, is valueless except on the level up- lands, low valleys and prairie grounds, but even it it should prove successful with this limit its effect on the labor question in the south will be very marked.
